Did Ramana Maharshi or Nisargadatta Maharaj ever feel sadness or sorrow?
Being spiritually enlightened, Sri Ramana Maharshi and Sri Nisargadutta Maharaj felt the sadness/sorrow of other people more than the people themselves. #Spirituality#fridaymorning
Spiritually enlightened souls are not like walls.
A wall cannot feel the sadness or sorrows of others because it is just a wall.
Sri Ramana Maharshi and Sri Nisargadutta Maharaj were like mirrors. They would reflect the other person's mind. #Spirituality#fridaymorning
Once a woman who had lost her only son came to
Sri Ramana Maharshi & started weeping profusely for her child.
Tears started trickling down from Sri Ramana Maharshi's eyes too.
The grief of that woman was too difficult for him to bear and he assured her that the same person would be born as her son again. #Spirituality#fridaymorning
Once Sri Nisargadutta Maharaj's daughter was on her death bed.
She had expressed a wish to have some cool drinks before she died. That was her last wish.
Sri Nisargadutta Maharaj went out to purchase a bottle of cool drinks for his daughter. #Spirituality#fridaymorning
On his return, he found the house inmates weeping loudly.
Sri Nisargadutta Maharaj was told that she was no more.
Taken aback, he said, “No! This cannot be. She had wished to have cool drinks before dying. She can't leave her body without fulfilling her wish.” #Spirituality
He then called her; strangely, she got up & sat.
Seeing her thus, Maharaj gave her the drinks.
Once she finished drinking, he asked her, “Do you want to continue living in your body?”
She replied, “No, I don't want to; it's very painful to live in this body.” #Spirituality
Nisargadutta Maharaj said, “Okay, then leave your body and go…” and she passed away.
The incident shows not only Sri Nisargadutta Maharaj's empathy with his daughter's pain but also his cool detachment. #Spirituality#fridaymorning

Shukracharya: A great knowledgeable person who was respected even by Devas and Saints. He was an expert in Political Science. He founded the Shukra Niti. In his niti he has laid down the following points:

One should never reveal certain things in front of others.
It’s great if you are loved and respected by all, but don’t show it off in front of others- doing so will lower your respect in the eyes of others

If you have to face insult at any point in your life, it’s best to keep it to yourself; telling that to everyone you know will make you feel insulted in front of others as well.

Tantra is an abstract religion, it doesn't have a clear definition. Different seekers define it differently, many not even consistent with each other. Tantra, though, is clearly recognized as being very different from the ancient Hindu Vedic tradition. #SanatanaDharma#Hinduismtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Before trying to delve into tantrism, it is important to understand that this is not a single coherent system. It is rather a tradition that gradually evolved from an accumulation of practices and rituals, in order to attain the grace of the divine. #SanatanaDharma#Hinduismtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The practitioner of tantra uses his own prana or divine energy in order to harness it to the universal prana, thereby attaining his goal. The goal in question could be either spiritual, material or both. #SanatanaDharma#Hinduismtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Tantra in Hinduism could be considered to be parallel to the Hindu Vedic tradition. Tantra contains written records of the Agama, which comes in four main parts, as follows: #SanatanaDharma#Hinduismtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Jnana or metaphysical knowledge
Yoga or meditative practices
Kriya or ritual practices
Charya or ethical and religious principles of conduct #SanatanaDharma#Hinduism
Most of the staunch Hindu Vedic practitioners, however, consider the Tantras to be anti-Vedic in character and hence, altogether shun both the cult and the practitioners of the same. #SanatanaDharma#Hinduismtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The universe consists of a Mahabrahmanda, or grand Cosmos, and of numerous Brihatbrahmanda, or macrocosms evolved from it. As is said by the Nirvana Tantra, all which is in the first is in the second. #spirituality#Cosmostwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
In the latter are heavenly bodies and beings, which are microcosms reflecting on a minor scale the greater worlds which evolve them. "As above, so below." This mystical maxim of the West is stated in the Vishvasara Tantra as follows: #spirituality#Cosmostwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
